Organizing Jewelry Making Supplies

End of the year organizing:

Organizing can be a pain, but it's also refreshing to start a new year with things in place. When Kymona started metal stamping a few years ago, she said her supplies were all over the place-in drawers, baskets, handmade pouches- everywhere. It was getting on her nerves! She decided for the new year, all of her jewelry making supplies needed to be in one handy place so she can create without looking in a million different spots.

The stackable caddy organizer and caddy storage tray was her first choice in organizing. The caddy has multiple units that can be conveniently stacked and locked using the lift and lock feature. Each compartment can be taken out of the frame and used independently. It has three different compartment sizes including small, medium and large. Since jewelry supplies come in different sizes, this feature is excellent for holding tools, jewelry pieces, and accessories separately.  

The caddy storage tray fits neatly inside the large storage container. It has ten medium compartments and one large compartment. All the small jewelry pieces fit neatly in these compartments.

The Stackable Caddy Organizer is great for on-the-go storage.

Wood Slice String Art Ornaments

We love these adorable Rustic String Ornaments that design team member Erin Reed created using wood slices, nails, and yarn.

Making ornaments with her each family year is part of their Family Traditions.

Once supplies are gathered, Erin uses the Caddy Storage Tray to keep everything organized. The tray makes it easy for the kids to find the pieces they need to finish their ornaments. The little bits of yarn, nails, twine, and wood slices all fit perfectly.

Erin creates the ornaments by drawing simple shapes onto the wood slices and adds small nails to the design while adding a little loop to the end of the yarn to start winding it around the nails. With a little help pounding in the nails, even younger kids can make these ornaments.

An Organizing Solution for the Junk Drawer

We all hate the dreaded junk drawer, but most of us have them. Junk drawers are the family dumping ground for anything you don't know what to do with. They hold things like pet toys, rubber bands, and other miscellaneous items. The worst part you can never find what you are looking for!   

Do you have a junk drawer that needs organizing?  

Design team member, Nadine Carlier had one of those drawers and decided to do something about it. She used Deflecto's Carousel Rotating Organizer as the perfect solution for cleaning out her junk drawer. Since the carousel rotates, she moved it into the pantry and can move it around to find the bin she needs. As a bonus, she says "I can now use that drawer in my kitchen for kitchen things." The bins are clear making it easy to see what is in each one.

Each bin is a clear canister and has a snap-tight lid that can be easily removed to get what you need.

December Daily Organization

Have you heard about creating a December Daily?

With everyone so busy during the Holidays, a December Daily® is a mini-album project that documents the 25 days leading up to Christmas. It's a great way to remember all the fun you've had.

For her December Daily, design team member Anita Scroggins shows us how she keeps everything organized using the Deflecto Large 3 Drawer Organizer and Small 3 Drawer Organizer. Anita gathers up her papers, embellishments, adhesives, album, and other things she wants to use on this year's album. She then sorts everything by type and how she will be using it.  

Anita even uses one of the drawers from the small organizer on top to hold stamps, ribbons, adhesives, and journal pens. Since the drawers in the Small Organizer are divided, they hold the larger items upright and keep everything in its place.  

When everything's in place it makes working on your project easier too.
